I had hoped that things with “Rebel Moon" could only get better after “A Child of Fire,” but boy was I wrong. Because the second part is even worse than Part 1. If this is Zack Snyder's vision for an epic space opera, then I'm at a loss.
In any case, you don't get a feeling for the universe in which the franchise takes place, especially as the action is set almost entirely in a village this time. A grain harvest is celebrated in slow motion for several minutes instead of doing some worldbuilding. The characters also all remain flat, the costumes are poor, and the acting is below average.
The only remaining question is whether the announcement of a version with more bloodshed is actually a threat. After all, given that this is a Netflix production, there's really no reason for this movie to be as low on violence as it is. Maybe next time, Snyder should just make the movie he wanted to make from the beginning. And he should also get himself a capable screenwriter right away.
